2-Pyridylzinc bromide - Introduction

2-Pyridylzinc bromide(2-Pyridylzinc bromide) is an organic zinc compound. Its chemical formula is C5H4BrN · Zn, and it is a white crystal or powdery solid.

2-Pyridylzinc bromide can be used as a reagent in organic synthesis to construct carbon-carbon and carbon-nitrogen bonds. It can participate in redox reactions, nucleophilic substitution reactions and reduction reactions, and has a wide range of applications in the synthesis of complex organic molecules.

The preparation of 2-Pyridylzinc bromide is generally obtained by reacting 2-bromopyridine with zinc metal. Here, zinc metal acts as a reducing agent in the reaction, replacing the bromine atom with the hydrogen atom in the 2-bromopyridine molecule.

When using and storing 2-Pyridylzinc bromide, you need to pay attention to the following safety precautions:

1. Avoid contact with skin and eyes, because it may be irritating to skin and eyes.

2. Use gloves and protective glasses during operation to prevent direct contact.
